Overall Ratings & Reviews Painted Turtle Guesthouse (Hostel)

I lucked out during my stay since the roads around the Painted Turtle were closed due to construction. Arrive after 4:30pm and no noise! Oh and the industrial size fan in my shared room was the best surprise EVER!!! :)

Great staff

Very good location reasonable pricing clean

The staff was very kind and accommodating. The bed was very clean and comfortable. I had wonderful roommates and the main area kitchen was user friendly and the people were very nice. Mu new Nanaimo place to stay.

Not a bad hostel.

Second night stay the receptionist was great

It was a good start I quit enjoyed it

Our grandson recently visited, and we were fortunate to secure a room for him at Painted Turtle. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, making him feel welcome and comfortable. His room was clean, warm, and quiet, and the establishment felt very safe, giving us peace of mind knowing he was in a great place. If you’re looking for a wonderful place to stay, both our grandson and we highly recommend Painted Turtle.

Firstly didn’t got what i booked . I booked 2 queen beds but got only 1 double bed when arrived instead of 2 queen for what i paid. Very small room with no fan . Not a good experience not worth it even.

Convenient, cosy place

It’s alright.

The room heater is not work and no elevator and has to share bathroom which was not noticed at booking. The staff is not professional. The key is not easy to open the door. The location is excellent!

Super friendly and great central location. There was always a washroom available.

Okay for the night. Kind of sketchy area of town.

The property location is central to most activity points and easy to commute

It was good, staffs were friendly and helpful . Overall service. Was okay

The property location is central to most of my activities. I am happy with it.
